Every dress boutique was telling me I didn't have enough time to order, make alterations, and it would cost extra because of the time crunch.

My friend had her bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses made here and the finished products were…read morepretty nice. After several (4?) fittings over the course of 6 months the gowns were ready for the big day. When we pulled out the package of pressed dresses in Newport, OR (several hours away) on the day of the wedding, to the bride's shock and horror the maid of honor's dress (mine) was missing. The bride nearly had a heart attack. It was too late to have the dress brought out for the ceremony that was just over an hour away. The shuttle driver at the venue bailed us out of the situation by lending me a dress she had that was similar in color to the bridesmaid's dresses and it all worked out in the end, but it definitely put a small damper on my friend's big day! I'm pretty sure Sovan apologized to the bride and maybe even refunded the cost of one of the dresses to her, but that didn't help me! After going to the shop 4 times (driving down from Seattle) and having to find parking in that area all of those times, I came out of it all with nothing to show for. :(

My sales associate helped me find the right rack to choose from, and held the dresses up for me so I could see how they would fit once altered. I was able to pay half up front and half when the dress arrived, which Is a very thoughtful business practice that worked out super well for me. I wound up moving out of state after ordering the dress, so I gave them a call to see if they would be able to ship it to me. I paid the second half of the cost over the phone and the day they got it in store they put it back in the mail and immediately shipped it to me. I am grateful for their flexibility and thoughtful practices, + the interior of the shop is very beautiful and well kept. (I picked the strapless one ;)

Every staff member was so kind, helpful, and complimentary - from the initial phone call to the second you walked in the door for your appointment, you could genuinely tell they were all on your side and wanted to help you find the perfect dress.

When the nerves hit, she was so reassuring and anytime I asked about making a change or trying something different, she never made me feel like it wasn't possible.

I'm extremely disappointed with the experience we had at Lady Secrets in Clackamas Town Center. We…read morescheduled a quinceañera try-on appointment, which required payment upfront, so we expected at least a basic level of attentive service. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. When we arrived, there were only two employees working. While we understand that staffing can be challenging, it was frustrating because they clearly had scheduled appointments and should have planned accordingly. The staff member assigned to help us kept leaving to assist other customers. When we tried to get her attention, we were repeatedly told to wait. We had already selected the dresses my daughter wanted to try on before starting, but none of them were being prepared ahead of time. This caused unnecessary delays and made the whole appointment feel rushed and disorganized. At one point, when we let her know we were ready to try on the next dress, she told us we couldn't because we were out of time even though we still had about 15 minutes left in our appointment. Overall, the service was inattentive, poorly managed, and very disappointing--especially considering we paid for the appointment. We ended up walking out because the experience was so frustrating. I would not recommend this place based on our visit. My daughter and I were looking forward to this place as well so it makes me sad I have to write this bad of a review.

Associate rushes you through the process, even has a timer that goes off to remind you of the 5min warning. 2. Associate pushes you to buy off the rack, almost makes it seem like it's not worth their time to order a new dress for you. 3. Associate allowed a random party to come into your private, timed, appointment. 4. Associate has very uncomfortable conversations with you in the dressing room. I had never looked at wedding dresses before and was very curious on about the styles that are offered. I informed the associate I wanted a simple dress; she showed me a selection of about 6 so we picked 2. As I waited for my sister to arrive, I continued to look through their selections. But as I continued to browse their options, the associate kept reminding me that usually brides only try on 1-2 to "decide" what style they liked so she heavily recommended I do that before picking out anything else. I agreed with her, but since my sister hadn't arrived yet, looking was my only option. I wasn't going to try on any dresses on without my sister present. She would tell me she's not rushing me but also rush me at the same time. She told me at least 3 times, this recommendation to not select anymore out. Once again, I did not want to start trying on dresses without my sister. In the midst of my private appointment, she let a group of 4 women in to "look really quick." She had a full conversation with them. When my sister arrived, it was so uncomfortable that she had to kick them out and ask them to leave. I was concerned I'd have to come out in a wedding dress with people I didn't even know looking at me. If I signed up for a shared space, I would not have minded. But given this place only allows private appointments, I find it very unprofessional. Regardless of waiting for my guest, it was inappropriate. The associate is very good at reminding you of the 60min appointment. Considering, she gave about 10 minutes of it to another party, I was even more offended when she had an alarm with a 5-minute warning. She thanked me for "letting them in." However, she never asked me if it was appropriate. As my sister inquired about a dress I was interested in and the timeline to order it, the associate went on a tangent about the European designers they work with, how exclusive they are, and that celebrities come all the way to their shop to buy these wedding dresses. She wouldn't give me an exact timeline of when the specific dress would arrive if we ordered. She was more interested in pushing me to buy off the rack and emphasizing to me the $500-$600 I would save. She informed me that unless I'm "serious" about buying a dress, the bridal shop will not "bother" the designer. From the moment stepping into the bridal shop, the associate gave me a lot of compliments. When my sister arrived, she also gave her compliments. As her and I got into the dressing room, she continued the compliment that both my sister and I look like "dolls" and continued to ask me what ethnicity I am. I am Chinese. To which she informed me "she can't ever tell." The compliments continued about my hair being so long and beautiful, but also that she lost a lot of her own hair and it was difficult to grow back. She then reminded me to "enjoy it" while I had all this hair. Though I understand the nicety of making a bride feel beautiful, the entire conversation was so bizarre. I felt so uncomfortable being in a tiny dressing room with her. My sister was 20 minutes late to the appointment. In no way is that the associates fault. I did not expect her to accommodate for that. I did not need more than 30mins to try on the 4 dresses. It was the entire experience that was rushed. There was no breathing room to look at the options in their showroom. How she talked to me was rushed. How she presented options to me was rushed. How she informed me that certain dresses I was looking at is $3K when she never asked me about a budget. Overall, regardless of being liking one of the dresses, I hated my time there. I am disappointed that that was my first experience trying a wedding dress and that's the service I received.

I first met Sonia in the spring of 2015. I was looking for someone to redesign a designer wedding…read moredress I had bought on eBay, saw some of her reviews online, creeped around on her website, and fell in love with her style. The whole experience was awesome. She's just brilliant, and will take your vision, and make it even better. I will tell you it's not a rigid cookie cutter type of experience. She's an artist, so expect it to be creative, fluid, and dynamic - ie be flexible on appointment times, design plan etc, and trust that you'll end up with something amazing and truly one of a kind. During my last fitting, we got to talking, and she mentioned she also does home design/remodels. So when my husband and I bought our home a few months after our wedding, I contacted Sonia again. She's helped us tremendously throughout our project (finding contractors, negotiating bids, design, sourcing materials, etc), and aside from her talent, has also saved us a considerable amount of money, which has paid for her time over ten-fold. I would recommend Sonia over and over again. She is an absolute genius. Everything she touches is just stunning and unique in every way.
